It's that time of the year VGFers. The Steam Winter Sale hits this afternoon according to multiple sources. I'll use this thread to post updates like I did for the last major sale.___________________________

ALL SALES LISTED ARE (almost always) APPLIED TO THE ENTIRE FRANCHISE!___________________________

The Steam Winter Sale runs through January 4th! I'll try to keep the OP updated with the daily sales organized by day and price. This should give everyone somewhere to look at the daily deals during their work day. The deals will update at 1:00 pm EST and I'll try to get them posted as early as possible.___________________________

A few tips to new Steam Sale buyers:

~ Unless it's on a daily deal, it's best not to buy individual games until the final day. It may hit a daily deal with a deeper discount.

~ Publisher catalogs are a great way to get a large amount of games at a relatively cheap price.

~ When a steam game hits a daily deal, often the DLC does as well.___________________________

You can remotely start downloads to your home PC if you do the following:Log into Steam at homeLog into Steam on the webNavigate to "community" then view your gamesClick the little box to the right of the game you want to installThe download should start automatically after a few seconds___________________________

Things I would love to see: A Bioware RPG bundle sale(not bloody likely since owned by EA which is a direct competitor of Steam), XCOM for less than $25, A Rockstar bundle that would include RDR which is sadly missing from the store, and Rayman Origins for $10 because moar people need to play that game and this would price match recent deals offered by others.

It all comes down to what you look for in gaming. Many don't consider Walking Dead a game, we had a big conversation about that when it won GOTY at the VGA's. I easily fall in your camp of loving the series, had great emotional attachment and the ending was exactly how it needed to be(being vague on purpose).
